Favorite Book: I read All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr while we were traveling last month, and I could barely put it down. I love all stories about World War II and the events that surrounded it, and this novel was about two different individuals (a blind French girl and a German soldier) and the war that surrounds them. I highly highly recommend it, even if you aren’t as obsessed with this part of history as I am!

Favorite City: Amsterdam. Amsterdam. Amsterdam. Bikes, cheese, stroopwafels, windmills, canals, and tulips? Yes, please! If you’re lucky enough to head to Europe anytime soon, put this city on your list (unless you hate any of those things…then don’t ;))!

Favorite Candle: Bath and Body Works had a crazy sale ($12 candles!) the day before we left for our Europe trip, so I may have gone overboard on buying ALL THE CANDLES. I stocked up on last month’s favorite candle (London Tea and Lemon), but I tried a few new scents as well. I found one called Flannel that seriously smells like a cozy cabin in the woods, and it’s the prettiest blue ever (see it above with my buffalo plaid scarf)!

Favorite Beauty Product: Maybelline Baby Lips in Cherry Me. Trust me when I say this color is the best and you have to get this one if you really want to enjoy this product! Love the hint of color that I get from this little tube, and the moisturizing bonus is pretty great too! I’ve been devoted to this for years and always have one in my purse!

This concept is awesome for even like a trip recap. I can’t wait to get back to Europe. I miss the amazingness over there. Every country seems to do baked goods better than anywhere else. Oh Bavarian bakery how I miss thee.

Ditto on the book recommendation! All the Light We Cannot See was soooo good!
